Very dark. Lots of brandy, a bit of bourbon. Sticky, bourbon, yeah brandy. Sticky, tasty.

Bottle at Lost Cause, pours a deep dark mahogany, no head. Aroma is extremely intense, with dark grape skins, brandy, bourbon, and rich treacly notes. Flavour is absurdly intense, with dark red grape juice, intense date concentrate, massive brandy, and rich treacly honey. Finishes boozy, with sweet dates and concentrated red grape juice. Rich, treacly, sweet, super complex. Wonderful.
